The Daily Mail: pictures of dead animals used to sell story.
By Sal Monilla
Having taken a cursory glance (and some searching around) SPOnG can exclusively reveal that UK newspaper, The Daily Mail - sister organ to The Mail On Sunday - has used images of dead, raw meat in order to sell a story this year.
The images - pictured, right - come from a shocking article entitled, 'T-bone or rib-eye? Why millions feel bamboozled at their local butcher's' that was published in April this very year. As you can see, it is a veritable montage of mass slaughter.
The newspaper is believed to have been delivered to, and read by, journalists, grandparents, teachers and even some children with little better to do with their time.
Images of sliced, dead fish, chunks of raw, red cow meat and - most shockingly of all - the ribs of a once alive but now horribly SLAUGHTERED little baby sheep (known technically as 'lamb') are still openly displayed for all to see on the Mail's website.
The article featured an interview with a person who can only be described as a BUTCHER - possibly very similar to the BUTCHER who delivered the hygienically slaughtered goat to a recent Sony press event for its God Of War II game, which uses characters from Greek mythology. The interviewee openly talks about "cuts of meat" and admits that his customers brazenly ask for meat to "...make a stew or barbecue it, and we give them the right type of meat."
Another interviewee states, "There needs to be a push towards re-educating the consumer by re-engaging them on cuts of meat."
The fact The Mail On Sunday should feel the need to use the raw flesh of butchered animals to illustrate a story about meat is surely as sickening as a company using imagery from Greek mythology to sell a game featuring characters from Greek mythology.

These cuts of meat are surely damaging to our corruptible youth! We should move to instate a ban on publishing such filth!

Look, calm down everybody. I'm sure there's a rational reason for this paper to display HORRENDOUS images of BUTCHERED BABY animals for CHILDREN to see openly.

"Holy satire Batman!"
Schnarrf!
We are all upstanding members of society and of the highest moral decency. We need to rid ourselves of this vile muck. If not for ourselves, then for our children.

I take the W.C. Fields line in this context:

i know something of the origin of these cuts of meat, and it is diabolical.
the cow was pumped full of antibiotics and hormones to make it big and avoid disease, then it was "humanely" slaughtered, but forcing the cow into a pen with hundreds of other cows, then hurded down narrow troughs through the final door where the terrified beast is shot in the head (all the other cows are moooing "dead cows walking!"). savour the taste of antibiotics and growth hormone as you grow your own boy tits and help mrsa get more immune to antibiotics.
psame goes for the baby lamb
the salmon bread in a little pond with about 5000 other salmon. good natural stuff.
the other fisshiies were caught in overfuished regions using 3 mile drift nets.
...
and all these morons care about it middle england getting confused over whether its a t-bone, sirloin, strip, rump, fillet ot whatever.
f**king t**ts
